The Granary

The beach and the East Coast is in total contrast to the Granary…with centuries old encyclopaedias, rugby photos, wooden pipes and taxidermy, it has calmed and sheltered many a nervous groom. His last-minute speech, struggle to perfect a Windsor knot, pre-wedding drink with the lads can all be achieved in unhurried privacy.…oblivious to the wedding day excitement building in the Tower suite.

Rustic, not precious, this sometimes masculine den has a moody literary ambience. Its frescoed stone walls are inscribed with a poem by Oscar Wilde glorifying spring. There are some feminine touches, not least the beautiful four poster bed! And Lady Chatterley would have appreciated it’s avian inspired walls complete with nesting boxes.

Leap into squashy chairs, grab a plate of buttery biscuits or curl up on a fur in front of a blazing winter fire. This intimate space with its timber cathedral ceilings adjoins a small dining area with floor to ceiling windows looking out onto a citrus orchard. There is a marbled ensuite and a bedroom cabinet adorned with flea market finds. In this bedroom, with its heavy toile curtains and gilded print of Paris in the 1800’s, there is the possibility that you could lose track of the hour, day or night..or even the location.
